Apylication filed llovember 14,1906. Serial No. 343,388.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILIE AIKEn, a citizen of the" United' States,l'esidingat Roxbu-ry, in the county of Suffolk and State ofMassachusetts, have invented new j and useful Improvements inSafety-Pins, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This inyention relates to certain improvements in.

saietypins of brooches, the obj ectofzthe invention being to provide ameans upon a safety pin or bio'och to 10 which maybe attachedthe cord ofa pair of eye-glasses. The invention consists; in a device of thecharacter hereinhefore'set forth, of the combination and arrangementoi'parts described in the follouiing specification and particularlypointed out in the claims thereof.

Refei'ring to the drawings: Figure I is a side eleyar 'tion of a safetypin constructed in accordance with my invention, witha POItiQ'n of acord attached thereto;

eral views of the drawings- In, the drawings 5 is a plate constitutingthe front of the pin, Gis the :pin, 7 -a pivot uponwvhich said pin isimounted,'.said pin" being'fastened to eaIsElnpOn the irontplate 5, andtis the catch-hook. The pinfiis extended rearwardly, beyond 'the, pi votand terminates in an eye'lO. I A ring 11 is preferably attached to theeye 10 and-an eye-glass cord 12 attached to saidring,

It will be seenthat in the'iorni of my invention heroinloeiorespecifically described, any pull upon the cord 12 only serves to causethe free end of the pin 6'to more firinly a-nd securely engage the end13 of the catchhook 9. V V The pin is'attached to the clothing in theusual mannet and. the cord is attached to the ring 11, or it such ringshould be dispensed ivithsaid cord may be directly attached to; the eye10. The eye-glasses are thus securely attached to the pin by means ofsaid cord,

so that when said eye-glasses are not in use, 'or if they should heaccidentally dl' opped, the cordand the pin would iol m a secure andpractical means for preventing said eyeglasses irombeing broken.

Having thus described my invention, What' I' claiin and'desire'byLetters Patent to secure is:

Asafetypin consisting of a plate, a pin, 'and a pivot [0'1 said pin,said pin extended rearwardly beyond said pivot and terminating in aneye. 5

'In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence I of twosubscribing witnesses.
